My 2018-2019 NFL Predictions

Here are my full projections for this year’s NFL regular season, postseason, and season awards.

After seven grueling months of waiting, we finally have NFL football!

Not too much action occurred in the season opener, as the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles beat the Atlanta Falcons in a sloppy, flag-filled game.

The only excitement about Thursday night’s game was the goal line stand at the end, once again showing that the Falcons offense still can’t figure out how to get the ball to Julio Jones in the red zone. Matt Ryan and Jones have only connected once for a red zone touchdown over their last 20 attempts.

But this article is not to analyze the first week of the season.

It’s prediction time and anyone who knows me is aware of my obsession with making predictions during the NFL season. Last year, before the season began I said to watch out for the Eagles as they were stacked all over.  Quarterback Carson Wentz also played at an MVP level in only his second year in the league.

That was 2017.

Let’s see which teams will surprise us in 2018!

Here are my official picks for each team with their record, who makes the playoffs, league awards and even the Super Bowl winner.
